Is there a table compiled and available that has all of the ranges for all aircraft in game (both with and without belly tanks, different loads, etc.?

You could try hotkey 'D'. to bring up aircraft database.

Related to the topic, I would like to know if flying on normal range for drop tanks counts as reduced load or normal load?

Normal range with drop tanks means normal load
Extended range with drop tanks means reduced load

In addition, can someone summarize the "range rings" for all units that can appear on the board with labels to their differing colors? Quite frankly I'm lost as to what all these colors mean given all the changes and mods to the rules... And I pity the player who is color blind! Thanks in advance. Hal

Normal range with drop tanks means normal load
Extended range with drop tanks means reduced load
Aircraft that use drop tanks will see their weapon load reduced or eliminated. For example, if an aircraft carries a bomb or drop tank under the fuselage, it will carry the drop tank if selected otherwise a bomb but not both. The same with aircraft such as the P-51 that carries drop tanks under the wings.
